watermarks aren't fool proof either

It's like a car theif, you can't stop them, only slow them down

Best way to protect images is to water mark them...

There are many threads of this kind here at TWF try a search for them

One thing you might want to keep in mind, is anyone can take a screen shot of the page and keep whatever text / images they want.

The only way to protect your data is to not have it online.

As for not getting the script working, perhaps you would be better to use the zipped source instead of copying and pasting. Copying from a browser often puts in illegal characters that will break any script.

The script itself isn't an .asp file, it's .js -- JavaScript, a client-side language. If you want to do it within ASP, you can, of course. You shouldn't need to edit anything though you may need to escape some quotation marks if you have the JavaScript right inside the ASP scripting to print to the browser.

HTML does no scripting.

Thx Suz , i tried that script ( paste it into the head )in ultradev but i have to be honest ^o^ , i ve never done much else apart from simple html pages , anyway , i couldnt get it to work after saving it as a asp file , maybe i ve modified it wrong somewhere down the line .. i give it another go .

What im actually trying to do so you can get a fair idea is that im just starting to mess around with ASP and trying to build a database of websites from various companies , as this has taken me donkeys to construct this database , last thing i want is some1 coming along and hijack the idea and nick all the web address and put it on thier site , as i ve seen a few site that have done this to protect thier data , im sorry if i confused u earlier about stopping peeps from saving pictures and all that.

i thought this possibly could be done within html , maybe i was looking at the wrong thing , so plz point me to the right direction if possible

many thx

Also, to prevent saving pictures, you'll want to employ some other tactics, but be aware that none of them are foolproof:

1. Use a spacer.gif (transparent 1x1 pixel gif) set to the same size as your image and put your image as the background of the page.
2. Use a no-right-click script to prevent easy snagging.
3. Use a JavaScript obfuscator to make it hard to read the source and find the images.

NOTE: none of these methods will work in reality, they only provide an illusion that will prevent some people from linking to or taking your image.
